An appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Richard Margolius, Judge. Lower Tribunal No. 00-28843.

Before JORGENSON, COPE, and GREEN, JJ.
We affirm this case for the reasons expressed in Espindola v. State, 855 So.2d 1281 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002). See Dade County Sch. Bd. v. Radio Station WQBA, 731 So.2d 638, 644 (Fla. 1999) (stating: "even though a trial court's ruling is based on improper reasoning, the ruling will be upheld if there is any theory or principle of law in the record which would support the ruling."). See also Applegate v. Barnett Bank, 377 So.2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (providing: "[e]ven when based on erroneous reasoning, a conclusion or decision of a trial court will generally be affirmed if the evidence or an alternative theory supports it.").
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING AND CERTIFIED QUESTION
Denied. See Espindola v. State, 855 So.2d 1281 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003).
GREEN and FLETCHER, JJ., concur.
I would grant rehearing in part for the reasons stated in my partial dissent in Espindola v. State, 855 So.2d 1281 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003).
